Meditation in 5 Easy steps.

 

 

1. Make time

 

When you are starting to learn how to meditate, you need to set aside enough time in your daily routine for meditation. It can be any time of the day. You may set time for meditation at the start of the day or you can put it at the end of the day as a means of relaxing. However, it is recommended that the easiest time to meditate is in the morning because your body is not tired and your mind is still fresh.

 

2. Find a quiet space.

 

 

Once you find the time to meditate, you need to choose a suitable space to meditate. Create an environment that doesn’t have any noise or distractions. Turn off the television and your hand phone. You can put some music on but make sure it’s calm, repetitive and gentle as so not to distract you.

 

3. Relax

 

 

Sit on a level ground. Remember to keep your back straight. This will help with your breathing. Remember to relax your arms and legs. They don’t need to be in a special position. The most important part is that you are relaxed. Now start searching for part of your bodies that are not relaxed. It could be face muscles or certain parts of your body. Try relaxing all of them.

 

4. Concentrate on something

 

 

It may be hard to control our thoughts through the power of mind. So to silence your mind, try to focus your mind on something. It may be a simple mantra or maybe concentration on a flower or a candle.

 

5. Silence your mind.

 

 

Once you are focused, now you can clear up your mind. This requires discipline and it is alright if you are not able to master it immediately. Most importantly, meditation is something done with intensity and focus, once you achieved that, you have reached the pinnacle of meditation. So try it at home today and you’ll find yourself feeling better than you have ever been before.
